Kentucky Senator Rand Paul continues his filibuster against the nomination of John Brennan to be the director of the CIA until questions have been answered regarding the constitutionality of drone strikes on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil without due process. The filibuster, which began at about 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, has been interesting (Paul’s actually discussing the issues at hand and not just standing there reading the DC phone book or anything like that).

Twitter is buzzing with the #Filiblizzard hashtag (update: #StandWithRand is trending #1 right now), and Paul’s being joined by a few fellow Republican Senators such as Rubio, Lee, Cruz, Cornyn and Chambliss who are offering lengthy questions/statements to give him a breather at the podium. It’s still unclear if Paul’s using a bladder buddy.

Related: Earlier Wednesday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz did manage — after a bit of a struggle — to get Eric Holder to admit that the Constitution does not allow a drone strike on a U.S. citizen on domestic soil who is not posing an imminent threat.

Update: The White House is remaining silent on the Rand Paul filibuster. The optimist in me hopes that’s because Jay Carney has been furloughed due to the sequester, but unfortunately I doubt it.
